    Duplicate photos; merging metadata; demystifying Photos.app and many other questions

    TLDR: Current main goal is to have a photo library that only contain the highest quality version of a photo that I have, along with the correct metadata (time captured; GPS, camera if possible). Hide/tag all non-photos (art/memes/etc). I have already done a lot of manual work, but moving...

    How to view old live photos on newer OSes

    When will Photos.app work well?

    I'm so fed up with Photos.app. I haven't had the courage to install Mojave yet but I hope things will improve. From an amateur point of view, the main problem is sharing. I gather they are killing the FB sharing, which was always a bit of a lottery anyway, as you never really knew how they...

    Photos.app Unsupported RAW Storage

    I'm considering buying a Canon DSLR camera that doesn't yet have RAW support in macOS. I have a few questions. I have a Mac that doesn't support Sierra and so is stuck on El Capitan. Is there any chance Apple releases RAW support updates for El Capitan at this point? I also have a Mac with...
